<p><font color="#000000">Some helpers prefer to have a log of <em>all</em> topics 
  that they have handled in the past, be it stale or completed, on hand. After 
  using the MHWT for a prolonged period of time, topics can quickly build up in 
  the <a href="../Topics/Topic.htm">topics box</a> and can end up slowing down 
  the overall performance of the program.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">The archive helps alleviate this problem by allowing 
  you to move completed/stale topics to this section. Topics that have been moved 
  from the <a href="../Topics/Topic.htm">topics box</a> will appear in the archive 
  (they can be moved back if needed). After being moved to the archive, they will 
  no longer appear in the topic box.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Note that to prevent confusion, only topics that have 
  been marked as <strong>stale</strong> or <strong>completed</strong> can be moved 
  to the archive. Any other topics cannot be moved unless their status have been 
  changed to the two mentioned. The archiving button on the topics box does support 
  multi-select, and in the case where a topic has been selected among a group 
  which is not stale or complete, the MHWT will move all allowable topics to the 
  archive, and present a warning as such:</font></p>

<p>The archive behaves like a limited functionality of the topics window. It supports 
  the opening of the topic link, and a filter search.</p>
<p><img src="../../Images/Archive.jpg" alt="Creating Backup Message" width="474" height="299"></p>
<p>Topics in the archive can be moved back to the main topics window by clicking 
  the <strong>Un-Archive</strong> button. Note that any topics that have been 
  moved here will <em>not</em> lose their respective information. This includes 
  (but is not limited to) issues, logs, speech history, etc.</p>
